Man is a frail being
With a heart that only seeks to do evil
No good would come therein
He not only breaks the commandments
He even seeks new ways to do evil
*****
You have seen such kind of beings
A people drinking from the hemlock of pride
A nation thriving on self ambition
Every man for himself, God for us all
A race betrothed to doing evil
*****
A neighbor waits in the dark
Like a hyena, a chance he seeks
To see a hand fall off your meat
The closer a person is, the more danger they pose
No wonder many have become islands
*****
Amidst all this infirmity and vulnerability to sin
A perfect love is bestowed on this creature
Great value is put in this earthen creation
Valuable than all the stones of the earth
All by bearing the image of God
*****
In the words of the holy book
Creation in the image of the Lord
Man finds his true worth
And when you look at him
Value can be attached to his life
*****
Though weak and susceptible to evil
With diseases and disabilities
Infirmity and illness of the soul
You can now see in him the face of deity
Looking at you, I now see the face of God.
